i doubt verizon is going to produce the messages freely. But if someone wanted you can get almost anything from everything. Just get a sim card reader and some software and you can recover lots of deleted stuff.

If her parents are the account holders (which, if she's a minor, they would have to be, since minors cannot legally enter into a contract), then they can access any available phone records - most likely the numbers contacted, and a time/date stamp. Whether the actual content of the text messages is available would be up to Verizon.

I have worked for cell phone companies. And to release those we needed papers from some sort of law enforcement either PD or a judge to release them but we could release them and they didn't really need a reason just needed to have one of them call in.

But really if the parents threw a big enough fit we'd give them out if it was a phone on their account

Long story short when you are a minor and you don't want to follow the rules and hide stuff from your parents don't do it on an electronic your parents purchase under a contract that they are in control of.

I am not sure if this is possible, simply based on the sheer amount of resources it would take for Verizon to log the contents of every message sent. I think the only thing they record is the number the text is sent to, not the message itself. And yes, they could get a log of the numbers that phone has contacted, provided they own the account and her phone is just an addition to their family plan or whatever.

So as far as I know, the details of your friend's texts are safe. This may have changed since the last time I got in trouble and freaked out over my texting history, though.

Sorry for double post.

They do log them but it's a pain to pull them especially if it's been over a week. But they are kept

Oh it is possible, well it was when I was 14.
My dad had access to mine, cause I lived with him and he paid the bill.

He stopped looking through them when I 16.

But he had a good reason.
I was in high school (well the summer before 9th grade) when I moved up there and I was going through a prescription pill addiction when I was in my 9th-10th grade years. He was concerned. So, thats a reason for any parent to look through stuff.
